Overall condition of the book is good – every page is readable. All the illustrations are there This book was first published in 1953 this is the second edition – with Hollywood stars endorsing it on its front dust jacket- was re-printed the third time in in 1964. That's more than 50 years As this book has been out of print for the longest time, I have looked for this book for a while, after learning that one of Singapore's oldest woman Teresa Tsu who lived till 113 started practising yoga only at 68 after she read this book. Tao Prochon-Lynch, currently the world's oldest yoga teacher (*updated- age 100 (in 2019) also read this book and trained under Indra Devi. Indra Devi herself lived till 102. Now doesn't it make you want to read this too? Indra Devi trained under T Khrisnamacharya, who was the guru or BKS Iyengar, Patabi Jois and TKV Desikachar. Using the teachings of ancient yogic science, Indra Devi was so forward looking and advanced in her approach to health and happiness. This book was written in a personal style. Besides sharing her personal journey to learning and teaching yoga, Devi talked about the importance of breathing properly, relaxation, diet, and the usefulness of fasting and sound therapy. She displays a good understanding of yoga's relationship with the endocrine system and also share very wise views of what makes a woman beautiful. Remember - this book was written in the 1950s yet it is has so much wisdom, so much sense, and is so forward looking. The lessons in short are: - Deep breathing - Relaxation - Correct posture - Diet & Fruit Juices - Fasting - Sound vibration - You are what you think I love this book very much and will read it again.
